From the Publisher

Everyday in America, people from every walk of life find themselves in front of an audience presenting their thoughts and ideas. Sometimes the stakes are huge. Other times the opportunities may not be profound or life changing, but they are always intensely personal. For business professionals, educators and others, the process related to delivering a compelling presentation is often fraught with frustration. Never has the need for such an essential life skill permeated the world of business and personal life so completely.

The Presentation Survival Guide will give you some practical insight into the process of creating great presentations. Compelling presentations, however, are more than just a collection of graphics and sounds. That’s why the Presentation Survival Guide will also provide some powerful perspectives from a psychologist into how and why audiences learn, retain information, and take action. Don’t leave for your next business trip without i

From the Author

For 20 years I've worked closely with presenters from just about every profession; executives with nail-biting business funding opportunities, sales people with careers on the line, non-profits who have a once in a lifetime funding opportunity and they all have something in common. Presenting is intensely personal. The process of getting thoughts and ideas into their presentations is not always a natural one and their presentations all start to look blandly alike. The Survival Guide offers you some highly practical solutions. Effective presenting is an essential life skill and now’s the time to get better. Are you ready?

5.0 out of 5 stars EXACTLY what I need to succeed!, August 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Presentation Survival Skills Guide (Paperback)
A rare find- if this is the only book you buy on creating high-impact presentations, it will be the best investment you ever made for your organization! I have been following Mr. Endicott's articles with PRESENTATIONS magazine for some time now, so I was excited to see he was sharing his expertise by authoring "The Presentation Survival Guide". The book is small enough to fit in a briefcase, laptop bag, purse, or even pocket. It is a perfect tool for creating professional presentations, and presenting them confidently. The substance, invaluable tips and easy-to-follow, precise content make this book impossible to pass up. Mr. Endicott's reputation as a respected industry expert is only solidified further with his latest piece of work. You will be amazed at how it transforms your presentations- it certainly has for ours!

2.0 out of 5 stars Concise is not always better, August 14, 2001
This review is from: The Presentation Survival Skills Guide (Paperback)
The book comes in a surprisingly small package. It can be easily slipped into a pocket. This attracted me to it and raised my hope that it would be practical and to the point. Unfortunately, it was not even a rehash of other guides to presentation skills. It spends too little time on the nuts and bolts of preparing and designing the presentation and too much time on the audience. It gives precious little attention to styles of the presentor. After reading the book twice I realized that I got what I paid for, an inexpensive book with little new or useful inofrmation which did not really add much to the already available literature on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tips for Executive Story Telling, September 1, 2001
By 
"johnjtjr" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Presentation Survival Skills Guide (Paperback)
As a Service Marketing Executive within a Fortune 1000 company, I find Executives know how to "tell a story" that fits their agenda. Some just take a little longer and are a little harder to follow. Of course, I don't remember those as well.

What I found useful about the book "Presentation Survival Skills" is that their stories and mine have become much more visible and memorable in a favorable way, just by applying only a few of the techniques described in the book. One example is how to prepare for "The 2-minute Drill", for those times a 20-minute presentation gets cut to 5 minutes.

Glad to see this book available at Amazon for those who have borrowed my copy!
